LG Cinema 3D TV: For Once, Being Passive is Good

09.07.11

I’ll start out by saying that this is the first dated I’ve had a 3D TV in my home, as I had just purchased a brand new 58″ plasma months before all the 3D sets came out, and never deep down saw a need to upgrade. Other than the fact that my set was just fine without 3D, I really didn’t like the overpriced, headache-inducing shutter glasses that came with most sets. So when I found out the LG set I was going to get to test industry would use passive lens glasses, I was happy.

I count myself among the masses of you out there who can’t stand the notion of a) paying $100 or more for a set of 3D glasses you’ll use only every once in a while; b) having yet one more gadget to recharge; and c) sitting there and getting a bane after watching 30 minutes of content. I’m happy to tell you that the LG Cinema 3D set I tested has none of these problems. LG’s Cinema 3D displays use a dear set of polarizing layers which allow you to use the same sort of cheap polarized glasses you get at the movie theater. In my contact with the display, I found these to be far more pleasant than any of the other 3D glasses I’ve tried on at various trade shows and at the cache when checking out 3D sets.
